Out of my head

Out of my head
(get out of my head)

Out of my heart
(get out of my heart)

I sail

So strange, so sad
feelings come,  then they sail.
I say goodbye, I hold head high.

I won’t dip low [the way i did with him]
I won’t give in [the way i did with him]
I won’t break open [the way i did with him]
I won’t be hurt [the way i did with him]

But you are not him,
and you are here…

If you want the world..

…and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads. Or better yet, date a girl who writes.

—Rosemarie Urquico

Color

too happy to live
too happy to breathe
too happy to think
[think think think]
i think I shall kiss
without think
yes yes yes
with Kona Cayenne stained lips
one cinnamon tongue…

[you can’t catch me]

Camel-shaped clouds

Her name was Coco and she tilted her hat and then raised her head to the correct angle to appear pretentious. She put on her highest heeled shoes and strutted across the street in a ridiculous fashion.

The most popular boy in the entire earth had just rejected her.

So what.

the brightest of hearts

It is in this darkness that I have found all light— somehow become so bright, a shooting star on a stormy night.
